Butterflies

Just to show off, I finished this butterfly mobile for Little Bear's room today (with a bit of help from the Bear herself & some helpful help from BB Cheetah).

I am quite proud of the end result. I still have to glue the flowers in place as they are only held there by string at the moment, but they will last like that for a while.

Little Bear is quite taken with it and even Cheetah was impressed. Lets just hope the command hook that I have it hanging by stays on firmly. (Lucky only Little Bear saw me installing this thing. I had the piano stool with an unopened 30 pack of coke on top of it just to make me tall enough to reach).

The second photo shows the princess stickers on her wall. It is definitely a little girls room now and starting to reflect her personality. She loves girly things like having her hair done, getting shoes on (and taking them straight off again because she has found another pair she likes even more), she loves to play with 'babies' (dolls) and loves clothes. She smiles when we tell her she is pretty and points to whatever she thinks made us say this (hair, clothes, shoes, etc).

It is amazing how similar and yet how different she is to Cheetah at the same age. They both have boundless energy to the point that complete strangers often comment on it, yet Little Bear will sit quietly with us for minutes at a time, something her brother never did. Little Bear loves dolls and calls them "baby" but her brother preferred stuffed animals. Little Bear loves shoes (although we sometimes have trouble getting her to keep them on her feet, because she loves to play with them). Cheetah was never fussed & always kept his shoes on because he wasn't really interested in them. Little Bear likes getting her hair done (when she is in the mood) which takes several minutes. We were flat out getting Cheetah to hold still for the 30 seconds it took to brush his.
